Rose Quartz Physical Properties 

Rose quartz is a microcrystalline variety of the mineral Quartz (SiO2). Rose quartz is opaque to translucent microcrystalline quartz of pink to rose-red colour. It normally occurs in the cores of large pegmatites as solid masses of rose coloured quartz whose individual crystals have poorly formed boundaries. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile crystals which are oriented at right angles to the c-axis of the rose quartz in three directions, each 120 degrees apart. When viewed at a specific angle with a source of light a star-effect is visible. This is known as asterism. Transparent material is uncommon; it is usually cracked, partly because it is so brittle.
